That's not baiting.

Baiting is playing off your teammates to get kills, you always get the trade, they're always making the push, you're cleanup crew. If you are actually legit and getting lots of kills that is the only way you're getting kills because you're not a very good players overall. That and all the new players that have flocked to the server recently.

I can acknowledged that. But it isn't the case every round, for every poor player.

No of course not, but it does happen a lot. If you're last man standing and the other team doesn't have a clear idea where you are, you'll probably end up with a couple of kills. Compound that over 20~ rounds.

Can me bad/baiter etc, but if they have a better shot than you, you kinda need to improvise don't you? I don't see what you learn if you satisfy the opposing team by getting ringed doing the same thing every round.

Having confidence in your team/shot is pretty substantial to your game, isn't it? I'm kinda getting off the track of baiting, but sometimes I feel like I need to creep around, poke and prod without getting killed, if my team mate dies because he's not as patient as me or as focus - but in the same area, I don't think its fair to call baiting.

CANNOT STOP SHITPOSTING FOR FIVE MINUTES
I dunno who this walt or pengy guy is but I say its a red letter day and we all start over.

On a serious note, have tried and tried but I just cannot play any lower than ~15 inches/360. I don't know how or why but once I dip any lower than that I just cannot shoot anything. Although over the past two days I think I have failed every headshot I've tried. I think I have a really solid understanding of the game, but my aim is so absolutely terrible it makes me sad.

But it is an extremely common flaw for bad/new players and those players that don't know better tend to do it every time they have a chance.

It's also something that gets worse before it gets better, so players aren't naturally motivated to change. If you don't know how to properly entry-frag, then the learning process will net you fewer kills than baiting, until you start figuring out how to enter a site with a team rather than after them.

If you are outnumbered it is better to be aggressive. For example, let's say you are holding B site alone after a plant, and you know 1 CT is in mid and one is probably lower or coming from tunnels or something. You are better off with the aggressive play trying to pick off the guy at mid before the 2nd CT gets through tunnels and they can both push you at the same time.

Hmm. Makes sense. I've often found myself running into two guns when I'm alone, hence my tendency to play passively. I guess in either case, though, playing aggressively will benefit me - passive play won't stop them from grouping up if that's their plan, while aggressive play might get one if they do split up. I'll keep it in mind, thanks.

I know how to entry frag on a specific few maps. However just because I know 'how-to' doesn't mean I can execute, or differences in players can end up making the how-to vary in difficulty. Who is to say they'll always play 2 B and 3A in Inferno etc. Hard to say until you either kill or get killed.

Don't forget that you can shift this gradually. I started a month or so ago at something like a 13"/360, and am only recently down to something like 22"/360. I'm slowly turning it even further.

Before playing comp, do you do any warm up rounds - ie deathmatch? It isn't about how many kills you get you just gotta practice reflexes and shots. Pick a gun and role with it. Albeit Im clearly not the most skilled here, but I've crunched so many hours lately just running around with a glock in deathmatch - you get punished by using a poor weapon against armored opponents and awpers or random spawns, but if you keep aiming for the head and have a good positive attitude you should do better next competitive match.

I don't care what level you're at, I could gently caress with some low level competitive.

Hawker I think that both you and the people who banned you were a little hasty/immature with their words. This whole situation is unchill as hell. I just don't get why this dude is banned if even one single high-experience player thinks the demos are unremarkable. I believe in justice. If you are examining evidence with the idea a guy is guilty you aren't really doing justice at all. Show the demos to a disinterested party. Don't tell them who you think is hacking. See what they say. Give this shotgun-addled weirdo a chance. And hawker, it's good your posting has chilled out a lot but you have done a lot of damage to your image by being super confrontational earlier on.
